Solution 1

Access to WinAPI is granted by Platform Invoke, see for instance [^], [^].
However, I'm not sure that would be the best way for customizing the Print Preview Dialog.

If you're very new to C# programming, then why have you been given work to do ?

When I was new to C#, my first task was coming up with an encryption scheme for streaming video. This is nothing, comparitivly speaking. :)
